 | A small knot of old timers was gather ed around, whiting up packing cases, and ruminating on the good old times. As soon as the new conner had dealt his patient ass the last prod necessary to land him at the saloon door, he put his hand in the bosom of his shirt, and drew thetice chunk of ore.
 In the meantime he had been greeted vociferously with "Bello Reub" and HI ello old pard."
 ''Weel boys", he said as he lifted up the front part of the limp and droop- ing brim of his old slouched hat ''Weel boys" - and here he run the fore finger of his left hand over his intellectual brow, and flirting it gracefully, he besprinkled the bystauders with shower of aromat- ic persperation.
 "Weel boys", he reiterated, q got her at last"
 ''Struck herp' was queried in a chorus. "You bet"
 He handed the sample to Gadburt, the iacknife assayer.
 Gadburt received it with a solemn gravity, befitting his deep knowledge of the crucial jacknlfe test.
 He then proceeded to open scme' what rusty old pocket knife, whose sticky brown blade proclaimed its regular ocou. patton to be tobacco cutting.
 He applied the knife to the sample with that peculiarity of touch which ii known only to the true jacknife expert The old timers watched him intently and strained their auricular nerve to catcf the first sound of the ominous grat' which would proclaim it low and base, ol the smooth glide, which would prove it rich and malable.
 She Glid!
 Here the interrogations, congratula tions, and side remarks on luck of tn old timers became so jumbled up and e n tangled as to be unfit for publication.
 At last come order out of chaos, ant he was begged by Gadburt to give ful account of the "ind" 80 as to have published in the ENTERPR1sE.
 Thus appealed to, Reub made violen effort to clear his throat of the dust o travel, and expecterated with great en phass.
 The Teutonic proprietor, who stood i the doorway, graciously took the hint , and blandly remarked. "Gom in Roop, and take somedinks !" Reub obeyed with alacrity and 8 grin "En gloss lager Roons.--=-,7--sL.ll | Nav, gi -s-,.--s6nIiig tia' o,'o S hands With my thorax, before \ drop , down. Something strong"

 He then drew out an aged briar-ro pipe. whose usefulness had Il prolon sd by patching its stem with sectlC of A calibre car fridge shell, and term minating it with home made mout piece.
 After using up dozen matches, al a good deal of lung power, the smoi was e success, and the tale began.
 "Boys you all know Nosey Jim; don't know what bis right name was, n I don't think anybody else does aroul here.

We'll about five days ago, l went IT the hills, few miles up the river he and one evening got to place whs there was little tank of water, down gulch.
 I had peen punching that old bu over the hills, and trottng arou breaking pieces of float all day long, a was pretty darned tired, I tell you: B thought I'd camp there that night.
 I guess it was bout four o'clock WI I got there, and the sun was pretty h yet, so had time to go down to the , CT before dark, anyhow-and lots of 1s lows would have done it if they had s' what I seen,-but was awful tired.
